Abstract:

A panoramic image stitching algorithm for embedded system was proposed to  reconstruct the 360-degree scene for intelligent vehicles. We used four fish-eye cameras to acquire the images of the near road area. A method of mapping the fish-eye image to the bird's-eye view  eliminated the blind spots of the driver with low computational complexity. An image fusion method solved the parallax problem in image stitching by combining time and space-domain information. For convenience of installation and calibration of the cameras, an interactive tunning process was proposed to simplify the installation and make the calibration of extrinsic parameters easy. The experiment results indicate that the proposed method can produce panoramic image with high quality.
